AdInstructions
To start, moisten the edge of a rocks or margarita glass using a lime slice. Then, coat this wet rim evenly with salt from a shallow dish.
Next, gather your ingredients and pour them into a cocktail shaker: 2 ounces of tequila, 1 ounce of orange liqueur, 1 ounce of fresh lime juice, and half an ounce of simple syrup. Pack the shaker tightly with ice cubes.
Agitate the mixture vigorously for about 10 to 15 seconds to ensure it’s well-chilled and properly diluted.
Pour the chilled cocktail through a strainer into your prepared glass filled with new ice cubes. For finishing touches, place a lime wheel on the rim of the glass as garnish.
